1. Features

The pneumatic type (left/right alternating) two-stage clamp separates the pressing operation into the
left and right sides. As each side can be operated with individual foot switches, this is suitable for
stitching two parts together. Usage methods can be changed to suit the purpose and make setup of the
stitching material more efficient. These methods include setting the left/right clamp operation order or
canceling the operation order and pressing with the side for which the foot switch is ON.

4. Setup procedures

CAUTION
Always make sure that the power is OFF before starting setting work .

4.1 Installing the clamp drive mechanism

(1) Remove the four screws on the Y axis movement race side fixing the clamp base (Fig. No.112) and
the two screws on the axis support side, and remove the magnetic clamp mechanism mounted as
a standard on the sewing machine.
(2) Using the screws removed above, install this pneumatic clamp mechanism following the above step
in reverse. Make sure that the clamp is not inclined at this time.
(3) If there is no need to reinstall the magnetic clamp mounted as a standard on the sewing machine
after changing to the pneumatic type clamp, it is recommended to remove the drive mechanism
parts in the sewing machine head.
To remove these parts, refer to the part catalog P-246 for the PLK-G1010 sewing machine unit, and
remove the parts including Fig. No. H130 pin E, and Fig. No. H120 presser plate shown in the
catalog. Use the parts Fig.No.308, 309, and 310 enclosed with this attachment as a cover.

4.2 Installing the pneumatic pressure control related parts

(1) The regulator and solenoid valve assembly configured of Fig. No. 201, etc., are fixed to the bottom
of the sewing machine table with the enclosed Fig. No. 305 wood screws (two screws).
(2) Align the piping symbols of the Fig. No. 209, 210, 211 and 212 air tubes (φ4) with ports A to D on
the pneumatic two stage clamp's Fig. No. 109 air cylinder, and insert the tubes.
(3) Pass the air tubes through the notched section on the side of the sewing machine unit's motor cover,
and lead the tubes to the bottom of the table from the square hole on the table.
(4) Align the air tubes led out above with the ports A to D of the solenoid valve installed in step (1), and
insert the tubes.
(5) Bind the air tubes appropriately with the enclosed Fig. No. 301 Cord ties.

4.3 Connecting the switches and cables

(1) Remove the cover for the connector panel on the back of the sewing machine.
(2) Disconnect the cable connected to CON13 (FU) on the solenoid PCB. This cable is not used after
this attachment is mounted. Fix it where it will not obstruct the other electric parts.
(3) Lead out the Fig. No. 206 and 207 cables connected to the solenoid valve from the slot on the back
of the sewing machine table, pass through the cord bushing on the connector panel, and lead in to
the solenoid PCB side.
(4) Insert the Fig. No. 206 cable connector to CON13 (FU) on the PCB from where the cable was
disconnected above.
(5) Insert the Fig. No. 207 cable connector to CON15 (OP1) on the PCB.
(6) Connect the Fig. No. 314 foot switch (1-pedal) cable to the connector (12P) on the head of the
sewing machine. The green lead wire is the grounding wire. Connect this wire to the sewing
machine bed.
(7) This completes the connection of the wiring. Check the connection with the following table, and
then securely install the cover removed from the connector panel.

Always install the setting disk for the pneumatic type clamp.

(1) Installing the System Software

① While holding down the [F] key on the front panel of the control box, turn the machine power ON.
(Keep pushing [F] key until red LED on the front panel is turned on.)
② [Model and language set function] screen is displayed.

③ Press the . Select the on the language set function screen then, press
the .

④ Press the . Select the on the model set function screen then, press
the .

⑤ Press the to determine the settings.

⑥ After [INITIALIZES SET VALUE] message is displayed, press the .

4.5 Setting the clamp priority order

As the default, the left/right work clamp is set to operate randomly when the foot switch is turned ON.
To use this attachment so that the left clamp is lowered and then the right clamp is lowered, change the
settings with the following procedures after installing the system software.
When this method is set, the operation will start with the left clamp, so turn the left clamp foot switch
(2-pedal) [black] side ON. If the right clamp foot switch (1-pedal) is turned ON, neither the left nor right
clamp will operate.

(1) Press the on the standard screen to open the MENU mode.

(2) Press the in the menu icon. The Program Mode [Mode Selection] screen is displayed.

(3) Press the .

(4) The program Mode [Set Selection] is displayed.

(5) Set the clamp priority order. Press the [Priority of clamp mode].

(6) Change the priority order invalid display on the screen to valid , and the press

the .

(7) Press the on the screen.

(8) Then screen return to the [Mode Selection]. Press the .

This completes the setting of the [clamp priority order].

5. Operation

5.1 Confirming operation

(1) Turn the sewing machine power switch ON.
(2) Confirm that the left and right work clamps lower when the foot switch (2-pedal) [Black] side and the
expanded foot switch (1-pedal) are turned ON, and rise when the switches are turned ON again.

(3) Lower the left and right work clamps, and press on the operation panel. Return to home will
start.
(4) Next, check that the positional relation of the clamp and needle hole center is at the scale shown in
the drawing. If the positions are deviated, refer to the PLK-G1010 Sewing Machine Head version
instruction manual and adjust the home.

5.2 Stitching test

(1) Select the stitching pattern. (Refer to the PLK-G1010 Sewing Machine Head version instruction
manual.)
(2) Press the [Black] side on the 2-pedal foot switch and the 1-pedal foot switch, and lower the left
and right work clamps. Next, press the [Gray] side on the foot switch to rotate the sewing
machine and start stitching. (Stitching will not start unless the left and right work clamps are
lowered.)
(3) When stitching is completed, the sewing machine will automatically return to home, and the
clamps will rise.
